vs commodore
I know a couple of blokes who have better cams fitted in their V6's and they go well for N/A 6's.I will be doing this to my VSV6 in the next couple of months.Its not just the lift,its also the duration of the cam,or how long the valves are held open for,people go on about lift,you dont need huge valve lift to make good power,a longer duration will do the same thing with less stress on the valvetrain components,ask the guys where you buy it from about it anyway,theyll steer you in the right direction if they know their stuff, and you only need heavy valve springs if your reving it up around the redline all the time.Also you should always fit new lifters with the new cam, as the lifters and cam lobes wear in as a matched set basically, if you fit a new cam with old lifters,it will wear the new cam lobes out in no time.

Yeh thats the thing i aint got no idea on what cam to get...i messaged MACE and they said we might be able to help you we might not
And i have found someone that tunes the old buicks so if i do go ahead with it..i should be ok

So what do you think a S1 or S2 CAM??
Hey bud who are you seeing about your buick being tunned,
I have a vr bucik that I'm putting a cam package in and it's just had the t5 manual conversion done but I'm using the auto computer and loom so I need it tuned regardless haha with or without cam.
